Never seen those in person BK. I assume they have some shape to them then.


Yeah a WW cone was a joke when I put one on my ski. It hurt it more than anything.

Flat is a shape. Molded and contoured is a different kind of shape...... There is a difference.


WW cones work really well. But it does not just work as a bolt on part. It depends on your setup.

There was a white square nose Superjet at Body beach yesterday with tubbies on it that were like 2+ inches thick, maybe 3 inches. What were those? I've never seen them that thick before. He was racing buoys. Race number 400.
 
No not for flatwater.... For surf riding and jumping... I was just thinking that when in the white water and cutting up the waves it would make the ski feel lighter and snapier steering response....

Just wondering with all other mods I have seen done... Figured maybe someone would have tried it...

Just lookin for Ideas pretty much, just picked up a second B1 last night and stripped it down for reinfcement and paint, and the Hampster Wheel That I have for a brain is spinning.
